[majorproblems77]

Colouring page time! :D

Trying a different character today and have kinda been on a Wars is a cool guy phase. So here we are!

This page is from the linked Universe colouring book by the amazing @vagueandominousvibes or Kalh!

Please please go and look at their art and AU there are several pages in the colouring book which I love and am looking to work on in the future!

I really hope You think I've done your work justice, cause its just incredible.

And Thank you so much Kalh for putting your artwork into this book for people to colour! It's absolutely incredible and I love it so much. Hope it's alright if I add it to my wall! :D

Alternative lighting under the cut!

The space for light

George Saunders, my favorite teacher of writing, believes in our innate intelligence as readers to know when a story is interesting or not. The experience comes in understanding the why behind our reaction, and the craft in tweaking the story just the right way so that at the next reading it is more fun.

I might not have a lot of self-confidence in other areas of my life, but I do trust my intelligence as a reader. Saezuru is without a doubt an interesting story. For all its dark and heavy content, I’d like to argue that it is also a luminous story. It does not feel like the warm light of a sensual sunset, but like the bright cool light of an end of summer morning, concentrated on your desk in the spaces between the leaves’ shadows.

I’ve read other very good stories with a similar thematic that made me want to take a shower while watching cat videos. I’ve never had this reaction with Saezuru. I recognize the limitations of generalizing from an individual experience, but I’ll do it anyways…

I admire Yoneda Kou for the space she holds in the story for ‘the light’: humans’ positive qualities, humor, beauty, change, redemption. We see this light at the level of the plot - the bad guys tend to loose; the characters- they grow, become more beautiful or stronger, and they never loose their dignity even when they are abused and violated; the poetic dialogue; and the precise, elegant art.

I’ve recently become a fan of a mangaka whose work I’ve previously encountered and avoided because I had a visceral rejection of the art style. Because a manga story is composed in a visual medium, there is an instant emotional reaction to the art before we read the first word. The line work in Saezuru is detailed, precise and even. Sharp black/white contrast is used sparingly. Instead, grey tones soften the panels. There is white space on almost every page. I think that the elegance, geometric balance and color nuance of the art makes the heaviness of the story bearable. It lightens and cools.

Do you agree?

Drew in about two hours at weekly karaoke while waiting my turn. I do have a story time for this one!

So while at a con I drew the light dragon on a guy (it was his gimmick - walks around with pens offering to let people draw on him) and my friend thought he took a pic and didn't and was a bit bummed

and I ran out of internet earlier and was waiting for my turn at weekly karaoke and went: wait I have a small pad and pencils in my pack at all times.

so internet and mostly ref-less (small help from friend) drew this! Can tell where I forgot details and embellished in my style. Love it though, haven't done art in ages

Finally inked this and did some basic pencil shading. Eventually this will be a con badge but for now it is a very Big Mood pfp. Nothing speaks of me more than looking raggedy exhausted and exasperated over a cup of Drink(tm)

(what is the drink? your imagination)

(it's a cave lion[ess] fursona [mane mutation+cold adaptation] but I use some puma markings for inspiration)

some arts i am making recently, been weirdly back into drawing lately so may as well run with it knowing how my motivation goes

The first will eventually be full colored but gonna have to thumbnail some possible color compositions first, since I want to put that on my wall when I'm done.

the second is literally me lol. also will eventually by colored but maybe digitally so I can resize it and stuff for a pfp/badge

My brain is definitely shot. I saw this and was like, oh, cool pigeons -- hogwarts pigeons? Hogwarts pigeons. That can't be right. *read description* awe, cute pet portraits! Still can't shake hogwarts pigeons.

Anyways, amazing art, op!

Pigeons!

Here's a collection of pet portraits I had a pleasure of painting for the great Keepsakesloft and Rey <3 Thank you both so much for this!
